eggs – the government administrator lyrics
ok, i’d be a pale impersonator
of a government administrator
but i went down anyway to apply
and i stood there looking nervous
at the other would-be civil servants
as we filled out forms
and formed a straight line
looking back on the test later
i can’t figure out what was greater
the pressure to succeed
or the will to even try
’cause the test of government letters
smacks of having nothing else better
and brother, that’s a hard thing to justify
ok rob, play guitar now, brother
see, these qualifications
of the government administration
forgive a lack of technical ac-men on my part
a safety net across the nation
a civil service examination
only robs your pride to the point
where it’s a good place to start
i had a vision in the elevator
of myself a few years later
with a badge around my neck
and no pain in my heart
’cause this demon on my shoulder
keeps reminding me i’m getting older
and i should lose the qualities
that set me apart
and talk like i talk
and think like i think
you’re catching up fast
let me buy you a drink
earn at least this
save at least this
someday you’ll enjoy it
but for now just get to work
drop a needle on a crater
and you won’t hear any sound
just an empty scratching
as the plague goes around
drop a needle on a crater
and you won’t hear any sound
just an empty scratching
as the plague goes around
